Hiring Personnel Favorite Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a bully record search?

ANSWER:It has only been in the past few years that companies have begun to
recognize bullying’s financial costs on the workplace. According to
scholars at The Project for Wellness and Work-Life at Arizona State
University, “workplace bullying is linked to a host of physical,
psychological, organizational and social costs. The effects of bullying are often so severe that post-traumatic
stress disorder and even suicide are not uncommon,” wrote assessment and
rehabilitation consultant Noreen Tehrani. The physical and mental
damage left from bullying is similar to that of battered women and
victims of child abuse.

Organizations need to recognize the costs
involved with keeping a bully on staff. There’s a loss of productivity
for the victim and other staff members who are also affected. There are
medical and sick leave expenses from stress-related health issues.
According to the American City Business Journal, a survey of
9,000 federal employees indicated that 42 percent of female and 15
percent of male employees reported being harassed within a two-year
period, resulting in a cost of more than $180 million in lost time and
productivity. SOURCE

What is the difference between a criminal record check and a bully record check?

ANSWER:A criminal background check usually includes a search of civil and criminal court filings, credit information and personal history, including verification of degrees and past employment. A bully background check includes a search of our database inundated with bullying complaints across North America. A bully background check also searches for bullying complaints online. Keep in mind, a job candidate may have a clean criminal record yet still be a bully who can cause havoc in the workplace. Both a criminal and bully record search should be conducted in order to find the perfect job candidate.

How does it work?

ANSWER:Easy as 1, 2, 3.

1.) Hiring personnel sends us the job candidate details.

2.) A specially designed application checks our database as well as online for a match based on specified keywords.

3.) If a match is found in our database, our system generates a png image of the row containing information based on the bully search including the alleged bullying incident(s). The results are forwarded to your account for your viewing. If a match is found online, a clickable link will appear in your account. Click on the link and see what we found.
